Assassins

This most American of musicals lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States. While every nation has its assassins and would-be assassins, only in America do disturbed and disturbing individuals act not because they hope to influence national politics, but because they are wrapped up in a malignant sense of entitlement. Feeling betrayed by the failed promise of American democracy and the American Dream, they strike out at the symbol for America: The American President.

Take a rollercoaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins, from different historical periods, meet, interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.
